Lori tackle hugged Bruce. "I'm so glad your here." she snuggled against him. "Bye Lori." Pam and Selena went off there own way.

Bruce hugged Lori back tightly. "It's good to see you again, love." After hugging her for a bit longer, he let go. "How are you two doing?"

"We're alright, I think." Gemini answered. "Thanks for picking me up, too. I need to get home to Rose as quickly as possible."

"I insisted that Rose stay with me." Damien smiled at them. "We had a great few weeks. It's nice kowing that he's finally gone."

Lori nodded. "That is nice."

Gemini looked relieved. "Oh, good. I'm glad...I wouldn't want her to have stayed home all alone." She said.

"Yeah I didn't want her to be alone either." Damien blushed and looked away.

"Thats cute." Lori grinned and headed for the car. "Lets go."

Bruce smirked slightly and followed Lori to the car. He opened the door for her. "After you, my love."

Gemini chuckled and went to the car. "Thank you for watching over my Rose. You're a good kid, Damian."

"I'm not a kid anymore." Damien grumbled slipping into the car.

"Thank you Bruce." Lori gave him a quick kiss and slipped into the car.

Gemini smiled. "Of course, I'm sorry, I know that." She said. "How about this, then. You're an exceptional young man."

Bruce got into the car and started it up. He was secretly listening to the conversation going on in the back.

"Better." Damien smiled at her. "I'm your alright. Oh happy birthday mom." he handed her a present. "I know it's a day earlier but thats just part of it."

"Thanks." Lori opened it and blinked at the dagger.

Bruce raised an eyebrow. "How did you manage to get that past me?" He paused. "Never mind, I don't want to know."

Gemini blinked. "Wow. It's a nice one, too."

Damien grinned. "Your just slipping old man."

Lori chuckled and took the dagger. "I love it Damien. Thank you." she hugged him. He pretended to hate it but they all knew he was faking it.

Bruce chuckled, but made sure not to say anything. He knew if he made a comment, Damian would get embarrassed and pull away.

Lori pulled away and kissed his forehead. Damien grimaced and settled in to his seat jumping out when they got home. He took Lori's arm and escorted her inside.

Gemini got out of the car, said bye to everyone, and started walking home. Rosemary would be waiting for her.

Bruce got out and followed them inside.

Damien went to get a glass of water and Lori turned to Bruce falling into his arms with a deep breath. "longest three days ever." she mumbled into his chest.

Bruce caught Lori and hugged her tightly. "Same here. Can we never spend more than a day apart ever again?" He asked.

"I agree." Lori smiled. "And if I try to spend more time away you can tie me up and keep me in our room."

Bruce chuckled. "I will definitely do that. I might do that regardless of what you do." He told her.

Lori blushed softly and release it had been a while. She cleared her throat "Well it's not like I would complain."

"Good, I'm glad." Bruce said. "By the way, someone has been very impatient to see her mommy. I'm actually surprised she hasn't tackled you already." He added, looking around for Martha.

Just then a half naked Martha tackled Lori's legs. "Mommy!" she squealed. "Hi baby girl." Lori picked her up and smiled at Alfred who was holding Martha's shirt with a smile on his face. "Never go away again." Martha pouted. "Alright Daddy already said he would lock me away if I tried." Lori smiled.

Bruce smiled happily at the sight. Martha had handled Lori being away much better than he'd expected, but she had still been unhappy about it. Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Alfred went to get the door handing Martha's shirt to Lori. "Come on you." she managed to get it on Martha without letting go. "Wonder who it could be."

As it turned out, it was Rosemary, and she looked extremely upset. She pasted a smile on her face, though, and greeted everyone. "Hi! Welcome back auntie! Um, can I talk to Damian alone please?"

"he's up in his room I think. Where's your mom? She was just on her way home." Lori blinked at the girl.
